Premium Pick

Detroit has always been able to rebound, fifth in the NBA in rebounding. Now it appears getting rid of a clubhouse cancer has been the right antidote. The release of Josh Smith three days before Christmas has provided Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy the kick-start he's been searching. The Pistons are on a 4-0 SU/ATS run winning by 18 points per game. A big reason for Detroit's sudden turnaround is its thriving from 3-point range, connecting on 43.9 percent during the win streak They are also 5-1 ATS against a team with a losing record. Sacramento not only has a losing record, but is in a terrible situational spot, playing its fourth straight road game in the East. Detroit has won nine of 10 against the Kings, a team on a 2-13-2 ATS spiral while losing nine of their last 11 games overall. Play the Detroit Pistons on the moneyline.
